Another evidence of Knoxyille's
lack of enterprise is shown in the fail
ure of the city to buy the Walden's
Ridge railroad few days ago and ex-
tend it to Knoxville, thereby connec-
ting Knoxville and Emory Gap by a
railroad that would do more to build
up the city than other road that could
be built.

Gov. Taylor'S political Affections are
almost enough to worry him to death,
to say nothing of his late greivous

The Knoxville Journal, Republican,
concludes, after investigating the
matter, that Governor Taylor is per-
sonally honest and that he has not
sold out his offices. But" adds the
Journal, "he has few qualifications for
the office lie holds" The refusal to
yield to the influence of Doodle is not
regarded as necessary qualification
for Office by some Republicans, but we
didn't think the Journal was one OF
them.

The newspapers of the state with
very few exceptions have been une-

slanderous assaults upon Gov. Taylor.
Many ofthe papers that strongly cen

A living wall with fringe of steel.
We see those splendid columns sweep
Across the field Men hold their breath
Before them crowns that sullen steep,
Before and near, is life or Death.
They reach the slope,-from ridge and rock,
The binding tire, IN torrents pour;
Beneath the fury OF the shock,
The earth seems shaken to its core.
They are not such As break and fly,
No laggards droop, no towards quail,
Those only pause, who drop and die,
Beneath that storm of leaden hail.
